“Autumn Sunset” is now a FTU scrap kit created by me
and can be downloaded from my designing blog here.

This tutorial was
written assuming you have working knowledge of PSP.

~♥~ Let’s get started ~♥~

Open up template.

Shift + D.

Close out the original.

Delete the credit layer.

Highlight Slats layer.

Open up the PSD version of the
animated leaves.

Image/Resize All layers 600 pixels.

(I have a TIP below if you’d rather try that as a way to copy and paste the
leaves)

Highlight Frame 18.

Copy

Make your working canvas active.

Paste as a New Layer just above the
slats layer.

Rename this layer F18.

Make Animated Leaves active.

Highlight Frame 17.

Copy.

Make your working canvas active.

Paste as a new layer just above F18.

Rename this layer F17.

Repeat the above steps until you
have all 18 Frames copied, pasted, and renamed onto your working canvas.

TIP:

Instead of copying and pasting each
and every layer you can do the “drag/drop method”

Move your PSD leaves canvas and
working canvas into position in your program like this:

Simply highlight the layer you want
to copy.Hold your mouse key down on the
layer until you see the pointer turn into a hand.Still holding the mouse key down, move it to
your working canvas (the hand will turn into a tiny dotted box with a white box
with a + sign in it).Once the mouse is
over your working canvas, release the mouse key.

Take my advice….Don’t try to do this too quickly (you’ll be
tempted – trust me!).But layers won’t
get copied and you’ll just make yourself frustrated trying to figure out which
layer(s) were missed.

Once you have all the leaf layers are
on your working canvas, highlight Slats layer.

Use your Magic Wand and click on
each slat.

Selections/Invert

Highlight each leaf layer and tap
the delete key.

Do Not Deselect.

Be sure all leaf layers are closed
